We are moving!

Have you ever done dog training atop a ladder, pausing your drilling of the roof while you dig into your pocket for treats? While the dog is on the other side of a fence to you, visible only from the top rungs of the ladder? I did, recently, and we are both alive to tell the tale, although I admit I'll need to improve my treat-throwing aim if there is to be a repeat performance!

To hear how it happened, and for more stories like this...

Stay tuned to Melon's Animal Adventures, which is starting up again. (Hooray!) Our new web address from Sun 13 Dec will be http://melonsanimaladventures.blogspot.com. If you are visiting through a feed reader like Feedly or Feedspot, you might need to add the new URL to your reader as the old link won't work anymore. Please check this - I value all of your comments and friendship and don't want to lose touch with any of you!

It’s good to hear you’re still around to tell that story. I guess the best part of it is that you were able to successfully get your dog by coaxing him with some treats, but I can't help but wonder what people actually thought when they saw you on the roof? Just kiddin’. Hope to read more of your story.

Cast of Characters

Ava

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born Dec 2015. Less than 48 hours after she arrived home, I became her official dogsitter and unofficial third parent. Raising Ava was a big adventure but now she's my sidekick for even bigger adventures.

Darcy

Born Oct 2016, Darcy is Ava's mischievous little brother: the Loki to Ava's Thor. He loves you and will give you kisses whether you want them or not.

Gatsby

My friend's Japanese Spitz. We've worked on her anxiety and frustration and she stayed at Camp Melon in August 2015.

Scruffy

katie

My friend's cheeky labrador is the one who started it all when I walked and trained her back in 2013. She remains the youngest 'old dog' I've ever met.

It started with a wheek

This blog was born as 'Life as a Piggie' and documented the foodables, munchables, trials and tribulations of Cocoa the guinea pig, who lived 8 years and never had a bad hair day. His hooman Melon hopes to live by what he taught and have many more animal adventures.
